The Polish leader.

--The leader of the Polish revolution is Count Gurowaki, a brother of Count Adam Gurowaki for many years connected with the New York Tribune, afterward with the State Department and now, it is understood, with Wilkes's Spirit of the Times. At the latest accounts, his army was concentrated at Sumbrown, and consisted of about 10,000 men; but the insurgents were rapidly flocking to him from the country around, as the revolution in all that part of Poland is in full blast. General Gurowaki, like his brother Adam, is one of the few surviving founders of the conspiracy or revolution, of 1830. Then both brothers fought, and were both covered with wounds, but the former was made a prisoner and kept for a long time in dungeons. Unlike his brother Adam, who is the author of the Pausalavistic theory, and a friend of the Russo Polish union, the Polish insurrectionary leader hates the Russian rule as he did in his youth, if not with more bitterness. He has always been a centre around which ground the ardent, violent Polish patriots.--N Y Times.
